Judgment text as reported

Muhammad Dilshad VS State Ss. 302(b) & 34---Qatl-i-amd, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Inconsequential---Recovery of weapon of offence at the instance of accused---Accused was charged for committing murder of the son of complainant by knife stabbing---Record showed that the occurrence in this case took place on 31.01.2018, whereas, knife was allegedly recovered on 23.02.2018 from residential house of appellant---According to the statement of Investigating Officer the appellant was arrested on 16.02.2018, i.e. almost 16 days after the occurrence, therefore, appellant's act of preserving the crime weapon in his own house was against the nature, especially once the appellant decided to conceal the weapon, as was the case of the prosecution---There was no occasion for the appellant to keep the same in his safe custody so as to get the same recovered at a subsequent point of time and hand it over to police as a souvenir, therefore, the alleged recovery of knife was not helpful to the prosecution---Investigating Officer had not stated in his evidence that knife was blood stained, thus, the report of Forensic Science Agency had lost its significance and, in this way inconsequential to the prosecution case---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
